Form & Verdict
From a good family and she made a most encouraging start to her career at Lingfield (1m) in November, making some good headway in the straight but unable to see things out late on; her inexperience was evident on that occasion and racing against the far rail probably wasn't advantageous either; yard going well and she is open to considerable improvement.

Disappointing in recent Group 3 at Sandown (1m, good) and it's hard to be confident on the back of that, but two starts ago she was a Listed winner at Haydock (1m, good to firm) and she'll be a player if back on song.
